Grover Coming West.

A Washington special says pollti-
clans who are coming here from st.
Louis to urge the President to take a
western trip will find that their visit
isunnecessary There ia no doubt that
the President has already determined
to take an extended trip through the
western states in the early future al
though the date has not yet been fix
ed. If he goes early he will probably
first visit Chicago, then Milwaukee,
st. Paul aud Minneapolis, returning
to Washington by way OF Omaha,
Atchison, Kanas City and st. Louis.
II the trip is taken later the route will
he reversed 50 as 10 visit St. Louis first
and then Kansas City, .Atchison,
Omaha, Minneapolis, st. Paul and
Milwaukee, returning home direct
from Chicago. The President hopes
to be able TO max this trip IN daylight
so as to observe the progress of the
west. IL is his intention TO meet the
people Of the western states as pres.
ident Of the Whole country and not as
tie representative of the one party.

From the foregoing II will be seen
that the fifth club is only seven games
behind the leader and playing in such
good form as to be possible winner.
The Northwestern league continues
to show most exciting race, but the
the leaders are trailed out more than
in the big league. Milwaukee still
holds first place, although once dur
ing the week 81. Paul earned the pO-
sitiou, but owing to Milwsukee's sue.
cesses during the week old positions
have been resumed. Milwaukee play
ed eight games during the week and
won FIVE. One from La Crosse, two
from Eau Claire and two from ST.
Paul, losing one each to La Crosse,
Eau Claire and st. Paul. The vic
tories gained over st. Paul count in
Milwaukee's favor each way and are
also notable as the first games they
have been able to take from st. Paul
this season. ST. Paul has fallen off q
little in the past week, which is MAIN
ly attributable to being opposed by
strong clubs on the latter's home
grounds; three victories against four
defeats Is the record, the games won
being one each from Duluth, Osb-
kosh and Milwaukee, and the defeats
two by Oshkosh and two by Milwau-
kee. Des Moines completed splendid
weeks work, winning six straight
games, three each from Minneapolis
and Duluth and losing none. Osh-
kosh won four games and lost two, the
winnings being two each from st.
Paul and Eau Claire and the losings
one each to the same clubs. Duluth
was comforted with but one victory
against six defeats; Minneapolis one
against four defeats; La Crosse man.

BASE BALL.
Notes and Figures on the Three League
Contests.
In the National League last week
no changes of position were effected
but there was q general punching up
Of the clubs and reduction of gaps
all around. Detroit is not nearly as
strong leader as II was q week ago
owing to having lost four of the games
played. This must have been sur
prise to the Wolverines as four of the
five games set for the week were with
weak clubs, yet the sluggers dropped
a game to Philadelphia, two to
Washington and one to Chicago, and
fought desperately contested game
with Washington that resulted In
tie. Chicago Jared little better. los.
ing but three out of five, but as the
games were all with the leaders on
their own grounds, the result is proba-
bly, all that could reasonably be ex.
pected. The games lost were one to
New York and two to Boston. while
they took Boston and Detroit into
camp for one game each. Boston,
playing at home, took two games from
Chicago and yielded one. improving
its position somewhat but not enough
to secure the coveted second place.
New York had four games at home,
one with Chicago and three with In
dianapolis, and won them all, holding
fourthiposition securely. Philadelphia
captured one game from Detroit, two
from Pittsburg and lost one each 10
Pittsburg and Washington. Wash.
ington opened the weeks play by los
ing game to Pi.tsburg but braced up
later and took two from Detroit aud
one from Philadelphia. Pittsburg
won two games and lost three, and In
dianapolis won one and lost three.
During this week Detroit plays at
home, having two games with Chica-
go and three with New lork. Chi
cago is at home the last part of the
week, receiving Boston. New YORK,
before starting west, has three games
with Boston at home. The result Of
these games between the leaders will
doubtless make some changes In po.
sitions vt the top. Philadelphia has Q
comparatively easy week with Wash
ington and Pittsburg, and may show
up somewhere near the big four at th'
end Of the week. The remainder ar,

During the present week Milwau-
kee is a. home to Minneapolis and
Duluth, both dead easy losers, and 1t
will be no surprise tr have the Cream
City Club mark up six victories. ST.
Paul spends the week at La Crosse
and Des Moines; at the former place
she should take the series, but the
Iowa club has been q tough subject
for st. Paul all the season. Des
Moines, previous to meeting st. Paul,
receives Eau Claire, and the games
can be counted in advance to Des
Moines credit. Oshkosh is at home to
Duluth and Minneapolis for the week
and has the same pudding that will be
enjoyed by Milwaukee. Eau Claire
and La Crosse have bout at La Crosse

HOODUO.
The Experience Of Men With the Missouri

There are many strange stories and
many stranger superstitions among
river men, but none more strange
than that reported to several parties
who have been down the river this year
and who are now convinced that there
10 something wrong either with their
eyes or with the river. Mr.. John
Walsh, a foreman who has been at
work on the Manitoba road for some
time, was in the city yesterday and
gave the Tribune description Of the
illusion, which. IL 1t continues to pre-.

famous as the Missouri river hoodoo.
Mr.. Walsh states that after reaching
Coal Harpor he and several friends en-.

point opposite Painted Woods saw
what they supposed to be an immense
sand bar and started to row around IL.
They saw numerous objects on the
sand, among them being men on
horseback who appeared to be in hot
pursuit. of something. At first the bar
appeared to extend nearly the entire
width of the river, leaving narrow
strip of water near the bank. As they
approached the supposed channel II
vanished and when within q quarter
Of a mile they were dumbfounded to
find that the sand was heap-d to the
shore and that no water was running
on that side. Looking back they saw
that water was running near the lef
bank. All this time the mighty cur

that they had reached the end OF the
river or had made mistake and go'
out of the main stream into a slough
or pond. This they thought could mol
be the case in so strong a current
After calling TO the horsemen without
receiving a reply they decided to row
to the bar and make an investigation
At this time they were about 100 yards

Prohibition Notes.

John Lellyett, in writing of the
use of foreign money against the
prohibition move in Tennessee,
says:
"Time was, within the memory
of man, when the people of the
State like Jackson, and Bell, and
Polk, and Johnson would resent
the intermeddling of the million
aire monopolists of other States
in the government of Tennessee.
We may trust there is a remnant
of this spirit of manly independ-
ence with us to-day. 1t may be a
curious question for reflection:
How would the old hero of the
Hermitage have regarded the open
invasion of his State by the distrib-
utors of corruption money sent by
Northen millionaire manufacturers
and vendors of whisky and beer, to
control a Tennessee electionr
The whisky consumers of Ten
nessee pay s15.O0O.OO0 into the sa-
looms in order to get the saloons to
pay s225OOO in taxes into States
treasury.
Just two weeks from to-day the
people will have say against the
great whisky monopoly in Tennes-
see.
